Teaching Tools – Interactive Online Games

Play Episode

Description

Games are very important in young children’s learning, and that is why we should definitely include some when teaching coding to young learners. To make our coding lessons more effective, we should provide our learners with some resources that are suitable for their ages and levels. Compared with the last episode, this focuses more on the online resources that we can find some interactive programming games and activities for young children to play and learn at the same time. The ones I point out and share are all have some specialties; some include a storyline when introducing a programming language, some have different roles for the players to take part in and control the character. These resources are not limited to be used in the classroom but can function as a way to help young learners review the coding concepts and languages they have learned as well.
